It is very unlikely that DTML will be dropped from Zope (at least Zope 2).
It may fade out in the far future, once there are page template similar
languages for CSS, Javascript, Email and SQL generation (you see
DTML still has quite wide spread use).
Even, when it would be dropped, nobody would prevent you, to install
the corresponding modules/packages and continue to use them.

What do you mean with "support"?
You should not expect major enhancements for DTML (this time is over),
at most minor bug fixes.
News things, like internationalization support, are integrated in
page templates and not DTML. When such issues become relevant
for CSS, JavaScript ..., new page template based languages will
arrive and fade out DTML more.
